Crab Apple b/w #60 (Sept 1)

With such colorful subjects as the crab apple trees, I haven't thought much about these images in black and white. I like them, though. In color, the blues can be inconsistent in tone. The soft blues feel like a sixties snap shot; the deep blues make the pics nice and contrasty. But in black and white, it really makes me question what I am seeing in the photo. This one feels like water to me. If you check my posts from this spring, you know I'm a fan of water.

I just spent 3 hours editing and color correcting images from a recent wedding and I needed to take a break and relax; I converted some of my tree images to black and white for a change of pace.

I swear, though, that by the end of this winter I will have read a book.

About Me

Photographer/Artist based in Mpls, MN. I have a studio in the NE Arts District--Studio #274 at the Northrup King Bldg, 1500 Jackson St NE.
I photograph elements of nature to explore color, shape, and composition. My goal is to capture images of the nature around me in a way that explodes (or seaps) with beauty. If that nature is in a vacant city lot, all the better. (All images Copyrighted. Use permitted with permission).
